New place names get created, old names get discontinued, new variants of 
names get registered, spelling of place names are changed, dual names 
are registered, place names that for some reason have never made it to 
OSM are missing, alternative names that weren't included in the initial 
import should be included.

Did you look at the examples? I meant the opposite of that; there should 
only be one OSM place node even if that means having the LOCALITY or 
SUBURB entry significantly offset from the GNB lat/lon.
